2014 SA 230 - Circuit Fault keeps tripping Blower

[RodneyVT]

So its Spring, I buy new batteries & dash is showing a "Blower" Circuit fault - What should I be checking next???

[ScooterMcgavin]

If it’s the original Blower, I would check there. Probably time for a new one

Like Scooter says, probably time for a new one... Usually what happens is the blower motor begins to fail and draws more amps to turn it - therefore tripping the circuit... Or there good be something small that got sucked up in it... I would replace it with the same if original.. It lasted nearly 10 years and it lives in a terrible environment. Like being stuck between the legs of a big girl and not seeing daylight.

Ordered new blower, should be here by wknd -

Might be a good idea to replace the vent hose too. Mine was pretty smashed up and torn when I replaced my blower.

Something like this:

Are used large hose clamps as hangers and zip tied to secure up out of the way.

Update! Replace blower last night & problem solved. Old one could barely turn, I’m sure adding to electrical load & tripping the breaker. As we are a few hours from a dealer, glad that part was available on Amazon- $53 & a free install- we’re back!

Sweet!
